I dont think you really need 3T. Take Prof Haacke's protocol and get the MRV done on 1.5T. Any specialist in MRI would be able to do the test according to the specifications in the protocol.
But if you are really insistent on the 3 T , there's one in NIMHANS, Bangalore.
Btw, though the radiologists say there is nothing abnormal, I see a lot of abnormality in my images(Even a child could see, if she looked). They just don't entertain me any longer, saying that I'm in "denial" of the disease and of Avonex which I refuse to take.
Oryx,
As someone who has gone through this ordeal for last 16 odd years, I understand what you are saying. I have never been near immune suppressants and I will probably will never use them. Part of it might be due to the fact that I don't have major disability as such.
They say you are in denial. I would say they are in denial about CCSVI.
That being the case, no amount of stenosis will convince ...
Anyway, I think help is one the way. I think it will take sometime for Dr's here to start trying out, but they will nevertheless.
Some hospitals will probably do their first surgery in this quarter. And when it comes to topline, bottomline and middleline, I quite a few hospitals will start looking into this more seriously.
BTW, Apollo (Chennai and Blore) and Max healthcare seem to be registering foreign nationals for this procedure. It would be reasonable to assume that they know how to test and diagnose too. Are you planning to reach out to them?
